A monoculture produces no innovation. Protecting the existing contributed modules which may or may not have active maintainers, which may or may not have maintainers who cooperate and/or may or may not have maintainers that share a vision is not good. Forbidding innovation or competition produces a protected class of elite people who were first to arrive but may not actually be doing something now. As this is not a new debate, I shall introduce a new one. Fire is bad. Support or refute this statement.

Hi,
"Modules that duplicate functionality available from an existing module are damaging to the Drupal project."
Please support or refute that statement and propose strategies for managing CVS applications and/or projects on Drupal.org in a way that will best help the Drupal project.
I'm using "Drupal project" in a very loose sense so you should infer that it includes lots of groups of people like new users, site builders, contributors, drupal.org admins, the security team, etc.
Thanks, Greg
